iPad Heat Dissipation and Cases

I also have a SwitchEasy Canvas on my iPad 3 and I’ve never experienced any issues with heat during normal usage as well.  Even after playing some fairly intensive games such as StarFront HD.  Unless you are using it in the direct sunlight or a very hot climate, I don’t think you should have any issues.

Transferring your iTunes Library

I set this up the other day starting the itunes library from scratch. I have been ripping CDS using Itunes into 320 KBp/S MP3s and making FLACs simultaneously into two separate libraries begun on a 1TB external hard drive. I have set Itunes to re direct the “Media Library” to the drive and simply boot iTunes while holding shift each time. Lion has really streamlined the ease in doing something like this.

Transferring your iTunes Library

I have move my itunes library from my old computer with xppro to win 7 pro x64 but in the process whilst I have all my playlists I seem to have a music library which is duplicated and thus double the size it needs to be - one half is in the itunes media folder the other in an itunes music folder, both of which are in the itunes folder. The itunes library files are in the itunes folder. Please can someone tell me how to eliminate the duplication in my itunes library files so i can delete the unnecessary music files and by that I need guidance if I should keep the media or music folder files.
Many thanks
Douglas

Editorial: 10 Remaining Questions About Apple's Next iPad

I have bought all three ipads. I don’t know what apple can do to make me rush out for the next one uless there are more producttivity apps related to my profession that require a faster processor or storage.  There is an exception…my dream for the next IPad is a daylight viewable screen. I would love to be able to read my books, mags, email, or whatever sitting outdoors on a bright spring or summer day. For work it will be nice to be able to make notes, fill in forms while being outdoors.  As for design, I don’t think there is a need for any radical changes…except reducing the size of the bezel.

The Complete Guide to Managing iTunes Videos

This is the definitive article on metadata tagging in iTunes. It saved video playback on AppleTV, iPad and iPhone for me - beore this, TV series were just messed up in the two latter devices.

I have one question: Is there a way to tag special features to make them appear in the correct order? I’m currently converting my Carl Sagan Cosmos dvds to iTunes, and many episode have a short “Science Update” addendum-episode, that is supposed to be viewed after the current episode. Since the episodes already have consecutive numbering, I cannot renumber to accomodate the science update episodes. Is there a correct way to do this?

Instant Expert: Secrets & Features of iTunes Match

So I think I am clear.  I wanted to use iTunes Match to allow me access to 35,000 songs but not have to store them on my local laptop.  I have an external drive that I don’t want to carry around and prefer not to store any media on the local drive.  Is this not possible as I thought it was with Match?

Best Practices for iPad Battery Charging

Wow, this is such an excellent article. Thanks so much for this. I was operating under the assumption that the memory effect still occurs with modern electronics. Good to know it doesn’t.

Transferring your iTunes Library

Hi, my old computer stopped recognizing my external HD (which contained MOST of my song files)so I have SOME files on the default C:/ itunes music file and I am unable to consolidate before moving to my new computer (which I’ve never done before btw).

So, I ripped the C:\Users\myname\Music\iTunes files (including the itunes library.itl and the itunes music file which contained the recently-added music files I couldn’t consolidate with the External Drive) and copied them in the corresponding C:\Users\myname\Music on my new computer. I was then going to plug in my ExtHD and hoping it would recognize it and then consolidate from there.

Unfortunately, I haven’t got that far so as to find out if that will work. There is no iTunes icon on my new desktop, so how do I open iTunes? There is no “run program” option when I right-click the file, so I don’t know what to do.

I am trying to help myself by reading various articles but I’m making no headway. I’m sure someone in the know will spot my mistakes in a second…could anyone be so kind as to point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Editorial: AirPlay Speakers Come Into Their Own, A Year Later

I asked some neighbors if they had old stereo speakers - two offered and I bought a pair of 301s for $10. He also sold me an amplifier (actually a Technics receiver) for $25. I bought an Airport Express and had something that sounds better than any of the examples - for way under $150 and I can trust Apple to do the software updates.

The Complete Guide to FaceTime: Set-up, Use, and Troubleshooting Problems

Hi, I’m not sure if you’re answering these posts privately, but in case you are I thought i’d add my query to the list. My boyfriend and I can facetime ‘place a call’ but it doesn’t ring through.  Both of us have settings/facetime/on and restrictions are disabled. We both have iPhone 4s and are calling each other using wifi. Any other ideas?

I agree. And readily-available Airport Express refurb units let you save even more money. Some powered bookshelf speakers such as the AudioEngine A5 are similar in price to the expensive boomboxes mentioned above but have far superior sound and even include an AC socket on the rear panel explicitly for an Airport Express. More speakers should include such “Airport-Express-Ready” convenience ports.
